Does anyone know for sure what is being discontinued?? I have a few new consultants who bought samples of the foot creams, hand creams, bio hydria, etc., (I didn't know they placed the order) There were so many products and samples that were on stop sell, and I can't imagine we are getting rid of them all. Has anyone heard anything concrete from their upline? I can't imagine we were all expected to wait 2 months w/o knowing what to tell our customers???

I dont think they are actually getting rid of them, just improving on them in some way. Most likely repackaging (lets me honest some of them are a little plain to look at).

Plus they said with the hand creams/foot care that they are making the bottles a bit bigger as well.

Anticipation! Every company in every industrythat has a new product launch does it, not just Arb0nne or this industry. We fell this one because we are close to it. Fashion folks feel it in theirs, scrapbookers feel it in theirs, etc. I don't think it is intended to upset anyone, just build excitement. To top it off, it is the most intense launch in their 25 year history. If they just trickled out the products or sent a list out it would be anti-climatic. It's just business.

You can read the Upclose in your internet consultants area...it says this about the products..

DISCONTINUED WHEN SOLD

price-affected products and Business Aids. Without ruining any
surprises, the following products will be Discontinued When Sold (DWS).

If one of these products is your favorite, don’t panic! As always with
Arbonne, when we discontinue one product, you can be assured that there

My guess is they are coming with holders, instead of having to buy them in addition, that's why they price would raise?
